Final answer:

Anemia causes decreased hemoglobin, reduced oxygen supply to cells, and does not lead to thicker blood composition.


Explanation:

Three effects of anemia on a patient include:

  1. The patient will have less hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. In anemia, the lack of red blood cells results in lower hemoglobin levels.
  2. The patient will have a reduced oxygen supply to the cells. With fewer red blood cells, less oxygen can be transported to cells, leading to fatigue and weakness.
  3. The patient will have a thicker blood composition. Anemia doesn't cause blood to become thicker, but it reduces the blood's ability to transport oxygen effectively, impacting overall health.
